Microsoft is rolling out Recall AI with Window 11 insider preview

0

After several delays due to security concerns, Microsoft has finally unveiled the first preview of its Recall AI feature for Copilot Plus PCs. Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel can now install a new Windows build that includes this feature. In this article, I will provide details about this new functionality.

Everything about Recall AI

Let’s begin with a brief backstory. Recall AI was first introduced at the Microsoft Surface and AI event in May. However, its initial release faced criticism due to privacy and security concerns. As a result, the rollout was halted. Now, Microsoft has reintroduced the feature, making it available in the Windows 11 Insider Preview for the Dev Channel. Registered users with Snapdragon-powered Copilot Plus PCs can test the feature.

How does Recall AI work?

Talking about the feature, the Recall AI captures snapshots of nearly everything you do on your Copilot Plus PC, essentially creating a photographic memory. It records activities such as documents, emails, images, and websites visited. With natural language queries, users can search for past activities, apps, or websites, or simply scroll through a chronological timeline of their actions.

You might be wondering about privacy, right? Recall AI is entirely optional. You must opt-in to enable it, and if it doesn’t feel right for you, you can always choose not to use it—but remember you have to be a Copilot Plus PC user for this feature !

Privacy and Safety

As mentioned earlier, Recall takes snapshots of nearly everything you do, but this time you will have full control over what snapshots are saved and can easily delete them. For this a new icon will appear in the system tray as a visual signal whenever Recall takes a snapshot of your screen, so this will alert you.

Furthermore, Microsoft allows you to exclude specific apps and websites from being captured by Recall. The company also claims that the feature can detect sensitive information such as credit card details, passwords, and personal identification numbers, and will ensure that these snapshots are not saved.

“We do not send your snapshots off your PC to Microsoft or third parties, and we do not use them for training purposes.” – Windows Insider Blog

In addition to Recall, Microsoft has introduced “Click to Do,” an AI-powered feature that enables interactive actions on saved snapshots. You can copy text, save images, or perform other tasks directly from the snapshots.

How safe are your kids online? Simple steps to prevent online child abuse

0

Nomophobia, the fear of being without a mobile phone, has become an alarming issue, especially among children and teenagers. As smartphones have become an essential part of everyday life, many young people are developing an unhealthy dependence on them. This issue is worsened because parents are often preoccupied with work, leaving them with less time to engage with or supervise their children. As a result, children are more prone to excessive phone use, leading to smartphone addiction and online child abuse.

While it may feel like there’s no way to reverse these trends, there are certainly ways we can minimize their impact. In this article, I will be discussing online child abuse, examples, laws and regulations, and minimizing ways for this issue.

increasing frustration in child due to smartphone use

How online gaming fuel online child abuse 

Rising threat of digital addiction

One major issue contributing to online abuse is online game addiction. As per ChildSafeNet, a staggering 85.85% of children and young people access the internet via mobile devices, and many of them are hooked on online gaming. This has become a source of constant frustration for parents.

On top of this, the effects on their mental health are undeniable. As they immerse themselves in these games, they often exhibit signs of distress – becoming short-tempered, anxious, and even experiencing depression or suicidal thoughts. It doesn’t stop there. The allure of adult content, which many children are exposed to at an early age, adds another layer of concern.

Gendered realities and parental neglect

Sadly, the issues of online abuse manifest differently based on gender. In many cases, girls face higher rates of online abuse, while boys are more likely to struggle with gaming addiction. However, perhaps the most troubling factor is that many parents are unaware of or neglectful of their children’s online activities. This could be due to a lack of knowledge or simply turning a blind eye to avoid confronting the uncomfortable truth.

As someone who deeply cares about the well-being of children, I believe we must work together to raise awareness, take proactive steps to address these issues, and create a safer environment for the next generation. There’s no quick fix, but we can certainly minimize the harm through education, open communication, and more responsible parenting.

Nation at risk

While researching this topic, I was shocked to discover some of the alarming statistics related to child abuse and internet security in Nepal.

Currently, Nepal ranks 109th out of 160 countries on the National Cyber Security Index and 94th on the National Cyber Security Index, indicating significant gaps in our cybersecurity infrastructure. The country also stands at 140th on the ICT Development Index, revealing a need for substantial progress in the digital world.

One of the most disturbing findings comes from the Nepal Police Headquarters Crime Investigation Department, which reported 314 cases of child sexual abuse in the fiscal year 078/79. However, this is just a fraction of the actual cases, which probably represents less than 20% of the total abuse.

Child sexual abuse in Nepal

There’s more!

In 2020, Children’s Workers in Nepal (CWIN) conducted a study on online sexual exploitation, and the results were deeply concerning. The study found that many children had dropped out of school due to the trauma caused by online exploitation. A disturbing 63.36% of males and 34.35% of females reported being pressured into showing themselves naked in front of a camera, this highlights the vulnerability of children in the digital space.

On an international scale, the situation is equally disturbing. According to a report by the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF), there were 392,665 reports of suspected child sexual abuse imagery in 2023. Of these, 275,652 URLs were confirmed to contain such imagery, demonstrating the global scale of the problem.

IWF record

These statistics are a stark reminder of the urgent need for improved cybersecurity, greater awareness, and stronger protections for children both online and offline.

How is the Government tackling this?

While the issue of online child sexual abuse continues to rise every day, it’s alarming to note that there are still no specific, fully implemented rules to address this growing problem. In response to the increasing concern, the National Child Rights Council issued the “Online Child Protection Procedure, 2078” (अनलाइन बाल सुरक्षा कार्यविधि, २०७८). Unfortunately, despite its issuance, this procedure has yet to be put into action.

In 2018, Nepal passed the Act Relating to Children (बालबालिका सम्बन्धी ऐन, २०७५), which explicitly recognizes child pornography, lewd images, and any related audio-video recordings as forms of online abuse. The law clearly states that anyone found guilty of such crimes could face a fine of NPR 75,000 and a prison sentence of up to three years. While the legal framework is in place, the challenge lies in its enforcement, and without effective implementation, these provisions remain largely symbolic rather than practical solutions to protect children from online exploitation.

This highlights a significant gap in the system—a gap that needs urgent attention and action from authorities, policymakers, and society at large to ensure that children are truly protected from online abuse.

Real-life cases of online sexual abuse

I have collected a few stories of children who have been victimized by online sexual abuse. Recently a 14-year-old girl from Lalitpur has been a victim of online sexual abuse when her explicit images got leaked in her school group. She was tricked by someone presenting himself as a popular teen influencer who persuaded her into sharing her private photos assuring her to keep them safe between them. The girl has been mentally disturbed by this incident and by the time the victim’s parents knew about this incident, it was too late.

Online Child Abuse affecting a childMoving on to the next issue posted by The Kathmandu Post, a 20-year-old male developed connections with a girl of 13 years via the online gaming app – Freefire. Later when they met in person the map raped the girl.

Internationally, the struggle against online abuse is the same!

Talking about an incident in India, in 2022 a 16-year-old kid from Lucknow shot his mother with a gun because she did not let him play an online game – PUGB. What can be more cruel than this?

We also have another story where a teenage boy lost RS 36 lakh which his family received as a monetary benefit after his father’s death, while playing online games.

Steps toward minimizing online child abuse

So far, I’ve discussed the serious issue of Child Online Abuse and things might have been a bit overwhelming to this point. Now I will guide you to the ways you can minimize this serious issue.

Firstly, parents need to be more mindful of how much attention they give to their phones in front of their kids. Additionally, parents should make use of “Parental Control” features on their phones (I will discuss this part in detail later).

child addiction to smartphone

Equally important is the role of the government. There needs to be stronger legislation around Online Child Sexual Abuse—whether that means enacting new laws or enforcing existing ones. The government should also implement phone addiction counseling services across the country and establish dedicated Mobile Addiction Centers to provide support.

Parental Control

Parental Control is a tool that helps parents monitor their children’s online activities. It allows them to see what their kids are doing on their phones, block inappropriate websites, and set time limits to prevent excessive phone use. This can help protect children from online dangers like cyberbullying and exposure to harmful content. By using Parental Controls, parents can take an active role in guiding their children through the digital world.

Get it on your phone!

Here is how you can install the parental control on your phone.

Setting Up Parental Control using the Google Play App

Follow these steps to set up parental controls via the Google Play app:

  • Open the Play Store app on the device.
  • Tap the profile icon in the top right corner.
  • Go to Settings > Family > Parental controls.
  • Turn on Parental controls.
  • Set a PIN to protect your parental control settings from being changed by children.
  • Select the type of content you want to filter (e.g., apps, games, movies).
  • Choose how to filter or restrict access based on age ratings or content categories.
Setting Up Parental Control using Google Family Link

Google Family Link offers an additional layer of control for Android users. To set it up:

  • Open the Family Link app on your phone.
  • Select your child’s account.
  • Tap Controls.
  • Tap Content Restrictions.
  • Choose the Google service you want to restrict (e.g., Google Play, YouTube, etc.).
  • Set how to filter or restrict access to certain content.

OnePlus has announced a new chip-level gaming optimization technology called “Venom.” This innovation will debut with the OnePlus Ace 5 series, launching in December 2024. In this article, we will discuss furthermore about this OnePlus Venom technology.

What is Venom Technology?

OnePlus Venom features

This latest Venom tech basically rewrites the game scheduling system entirely, bypassing Android’s native system. This change improves gaming performance, reduces power consumption, and effectively manages heat. Additionally, this technology enhances the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, leading to what OnePlus describes as “Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.5” performance.

Which device will it feature?

This Venom technology will be featured in most semi-flagship to flagship devices, starting with the Ace series. The Ace 5 series will include two models: the standard Ace 5 and the Ace 5 Pro. In the meantime, here are the Key features of these Ace series models:

  • Processor: The Ace 5 runs on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, while the Ace 5 Pro uses the Snapdragon 8 Elite.
  • Display: Both phones feature a 1.5K flat OLED display with a centered punch-hole.
  • Memory and Storage: Users can choose configurations of up to 24 GB RAM and 1 TB storage.
  • Battery: The phones are expected to include a battery of around 6,000mAh capacity.

OnePlus Venom Technology Availability

As said earlier, they will debut in the Ace series. While OnePlus plans to rebrand the Ace 5 as the OnePlus 13R for global markets. It will launch alongside the OnePlus 13 in January 2025. However, there is no confirmation about the Ace 5 Pro’s global release. This technology is also expected to feature in Oppo phones.
